The WA Labor Rules are not intended to create contractual relations in relation to preselection of candidates for Parliamentary elections or membership of the party. The Electoral Act 1918 (Cth) does not impliedly make justiciable preselection and membership disputes alleging a failure to comply with the constitution of a registered political party which does not have contractual force. The WA Court of Appeal prefers the approach of the NSW Court of Appeal in Camenzuli v Morrison to that of the Victorian Court of Appeal in Asmar v Albanese on this question. The conflict between intermediate appellate courts remains unresolved at the High Court level.
